About This Access Site
D & D Matlacha Bait, Tackle and Ramp provides convenient 24/7 access to Matlacha Pass in Lee County. The facility features a two-slip boat launch with 30 trailer parking spaces, making it suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats. A well-stocked bait and tackle shop is on-site for those looking to fish during their outing. The ramp offers quick access to Matlacha Pass and Pine Island Sound.
This access point is ideally located for exploring two nearby national wildlife refuges—Pine Island National Wildlife Refuge to the north and Island Bay National Wildlife Refuge—both offering excellent opportunities for wildlife viewing and paddling in shallow bay waters. The saltwater environment of Matlacha Pass supports diverse marine life and provides scenic paddling through coastal Florida habitat. A day-use parking fee applies, so plan accordingly before launching.
